Charity Wrap-up

If you follow my Tumblr at all, you probably knew I was participating in the Web-Artist Charity Drive last weekend to raise money for Hurricane Sandy victims on the East Coast. The event was a great success and we all had a lot of fun working on it, so big thanks to everyone who showed up, donated, and got some art! (and everyone who showed up to draw and organized the event!)

I kind of procrastinated all Sunday, but while I get this week’s comic ready you can have this art from the charity drive as a place-holder.

Still, it’s a great at making threats and then laying down spikes when they switch out. Dual duty scaring off Espeon/Xatu and laying down passive damage in the form of Toxic -or- vanilla Spikes, whichever works best. Then when they call your bluff the second time, you nail ’em to the floor with Megahorn.

Nicely (and wisely) dodged question. Speaking as one of the older fans of Homestuck (as in both age and time I’ve been reading it) you don’t want either its full fandom or its hatedom skulking around MGDMT.

The sooner people understand that there’s nothing wrong with sharing interests, and that bugging people about sharing our interests doesn’t make them want to any more, the sooner they’ll stop feeling the need to evacuate the moment said interests become tangentially involved.

It’s the (hipsterish) stance taken by many Homestuck fans that “if you don’t like it, it’s because you don’t ‘get’ it” that most often leads to people running, screaming, in the other direction the minute it becomes associated with something they like.

Me, this is fanart for charity, I ain’t got to like it but I ain’t bugging.

Ugh. I just caught up and now, in my first comment on the comic, I’m going to reveal myself to be a damnable Homestuck. Curses. Not only am I a ridiculous Homestuck fanboy but also an Equius fanboy do I have this to say: I like the arm wrestling match going on here but it may be a bit mismatched because he MAY (may) be one of the strongest characters in fiction. I have this whole theory thing. I’m a huge nerd. Anyway, the charity event was something I really admired and I think this participation is just fantastic. Also, this webcomic quickly became one of my favorites but I bet that happens a lot.
